Celiac and the Beast: A Love Story Between a Gluten-Free Girl, Her Genes, and a Broken Digestive Tract

For lunch I made some black bean and sweet potato mini burgers that are vegan! I got the idea from @blogilates app, but adapted it. // I diced 1/4 of a bell pepper, 1/6 of an onion, 1/2 of a celery stalk, 1 medium carrot, and 3 minced garlic cloves. I sautéed the veggies until softened. I then pulsed in the food processor until the veggies were very small. I mixed in salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and a little granulated garlic. I then added 1 can of black beans, and 1/2 a steamed sweet potato, 1 tablespoon flax seed, and 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds. I pulsed 5 times, just until incorporated. You want the beans chunky. I formed into 5 little patties, and cooked in a skillet for 2 minutes on each side. I served mine with brown rice and broccoli. This whole plate of food was just under 300 calories. #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #eatingwhole #eatclean
